i’m not JUMPY :(

I could probably find somewhere abandoned to break into

[demigoth]

its not a bad thing but you are a little. whatever you want to call it

you break in places. i need to see this

[overlyprecocious]

:/

i could! i have hobbies.

[demigoth]

being a thief is a hobby??

[overlyprecocious]

I didn’t say I’d steal anything!!

[demigoth]

then why is breaking in your hobby

[codicies]

breaking and entering is like, basic life skills.

[overlyprecocious]

this ^

[demigoth]

maybe for dylans but not for tims

[overlyprecocious]

I’m from Gotham

I realize that doesn’t mean much at the moment because we haven’t explained it well, but basically my home is idk arguably cursed

[demigoth]

cursed by who?? is that why jason didn’t ask about the demigod stuff?

[overlyprecocious]

tbh not sure if we’re literally cursed or it just feels like it

there’s a lot of toxic chemical attacks so it’s hard to gauge

[demigoth]

what’s the difference

WHY are there toxic chemical attacks? are you sure it’s not just magic and you’re not seeing it right?

[overlyprecocious]

idk

we could’ve been cursed by a being or like so much shitty stuff happens that it just FEELS like a curse

oh so there’s this doctor named Jonathan Crane who got all obsessed with fear for some reason and makes psychoactive drugs that trigger sensations of fear and he put it in gaseous form. you basically have not had a true Gotham experience until you’ve been hit by it some random day and had a panic attack while hallucinating your worst fears

[demigoth]

that usually means you're cursed or something's going on with gods monsters or demigods

and he's human? because that sounds like something one of the jerkier gods would do. like eros or hera. the gods are big on making you prove yourself by facing yourself

[hackingyoursensors]

can confirm gotham is cursed

[demigoth]

cursed by WHO

[hackingyoursensors]

i don't think it's a who

it's a magnet for trouble and weirdness

the number of villains with themes is like. three times the amount of any other major US city.

[demigoth]

since when?

[codicies]

i was homeless for a few months back home so it was a neat little trick to grab something to eat while dad was out trying to make money

[demigoth]

basic means everybody does it. you aren’t basic. that’s like me saying everyone lives in labyrinths

things are better now yeah?

[codicies]

ok, if you dont know how, i could teach you to pick locks. and then you can tell me about the labyrinth because holy shit???

back home things are better now. Tony Stark bought dad an apartment after we helped take down Carnage. So that's two times now my place of living has been purchased with Tony Stark Money.

[demigoth]

why can’t i just break the door down or cut the lock out

daedulus’ labyrinth still exists. mostly sucks. don’t go in if it’s here.

is he your other other parent?

[codicies]

No, he's the guy who founded the company that I inherited when Diana disappeared.

[demigoth]

so he just did that because he’s nice?
